Expanded Shale, Clay and Slate Institute’s Post

It is a beautiful place but scanning by the sea does have problems. Wating for the tide to go out and then being off sie before it comes back is a big one. Then you have the concrete itself, constant submersion into the salt water is not great for concrete, or the bars within. This site has tried to protect the concrete with surface finishes and the like but nature finds a way. Luckily, so do Trace Structural Investigations and we got the works done on time with some great results. Now to put together a report that shows information and not just pretty pictures. #StructuralInvestigations #CoastalEngineering #ConcreteScanning #GPRTechnology #EngineeringChallenges #InnovativeSolutions #StructuralIntegrity #EngineeringExcellence #InfrastructureHealth #CivilEngineering #MarineConstruction #DetailedAnalysis

Self-healing concrete is a type of concrete that can automatically repair cracks that form on its surface. This is possible because the concrete contains capsules filled with a healing agent. When a crack forms, the capsules break open and release the healing agent, which fills the crack and bonds the concrete back together. Self-healing concrete has the potential to significantly reduce the need for maintenance and repair of concrete structures, which can save time and money. Here is a YouTube video about self-healing concrete: https://lnkd.in/dAtHVvih #civilengineering #concrete #construction #innovation #engineering #futureofconstruction #infrastructure

In the world of construction, ensuring the longevity and durability of structures is paramount. Waterproofing concrete is a critical step in this process, creating a barrier against moisture that can lead to deterioration and damage over time. Innovative methods and materials, such as crystalline admixtures and hydrophobic coatings, are revolutionizing the way we approach this challenge. By integrating these advanced solutions, we can protect our buildings from the elements and secure a stronger, more resilient future for our infrastructure. Let's continue to build on this foundation of knowledge and strive for excellence in every layer of construction.🏗️🛡️ #ConstructionInnovation #WaterproofingSolutions #BuildingResilience

Harsh weather can be a major obstacle in construction projects. That's why architects trust the DuPont™ Thermax™ Wall System to keep buildings weather-tight. With its efficient one-revolution installation process, it helps keep construction schedules on track. Join the pros and discover why this product is a game-changer in exterior sheathing. Did you know? Thermax™ polyiso can be installed as an alternative to #mineralwool as exterior continuous insulation. Typical mineral wool contains less R-value per inch than Thermax™, requiring thicker wall assemblies and longer fasteners. https://lnkd.in/dTH6Gcff #Thermax #ThermaxWallSystem #AllSixSides #CommercialConstruction #EnergyEfficiency #MedicalConstruction #ContinuousInsulation

There is a widely held misconception that driven precast, prestressed concrete piles (PCPs) are principally for use in marine and river structures. As a result, PCPs are often prematurely eliminated from consideration during the preliminary design phase of other projects. PCPs are a high-performance, durable, and cost-effective solution that are typically a great choice for many deep foundation projects. Learn more about the many advantages of PCPs in this Aspire Fall 2023 article. https://hubs.li/Q02r1KSN0 #howprecastbuilds Roy Eriksson Eriksson Technologies, Inc.
